What you call 'Smart Tags' tags is very similar to the proposed 'Intelligent Document Tags' described in the 'StarOffice / OpenOffice.org “Q” Product Concept' document. http://tools.openoffice.org/releases/q-concept.html This document describes proposed enhancements that were to be built into OOo version 2. However, much to my disappointment 'Intelligent Document Tags' were not included in the OOo version 2 product. It was never clear to me why this was left out but I believe it was to lack of priority against the available development resources. I was hoping we could have have used 'Intelligent Document Tags' to build our enhanced bibliographic facility. Now we have to take other routes. David -- ------------------- David N.
